The crankshaft position sensor works in tandem with the camshaft ones, and they sometimes fail together. I've seen it written that the crankshaft one should be changed WITH the cam ones. They're kinda expensive, but the no spark/injection thing suggests that may be your issue. <!-- from fixya rte -->

Get a quality diagnostic scanner on it. Otherwise, it's a guessing game, and an expensive one at that!

check your timing ---and wiring may have knocked off or failed to replace a sensor

Locate cylinder number 1 after searching for year make model firing order Remove spark plugs. Then turn the engine over. Look for the valves on cylinder 1 to be both closed. In the old days, we would hold a long pencil in the plug hole of number 1 and watch it rise and then fall. At the top of the rise is TDC, which should correspond to the marks. The proper way is to have a micrometer that fits into the spark plug threads but the marks will be close enough.

Remove the fuse.

find the short, could be in the switch or a wire itself...and if you have a bulb out it complicates finding it even morenew fuse it, then turn things back on one at a time...should tell u where the problem is

The service and repair manual with diagram will provide you step by step help to locate and fix the problem easily and you will get the manual from the given link https://toolsnyou.com

there's a website reliable-store all heavy equipment repair issues servicing, loading, wiring, engine problems everything is covered here its a must try

right next to the interior fuse box, lower left side of dash

Wiring, schematic, electrical diagrams, fuse diag, error codes etc are basic contents of these online books they have here on this website www.reliable-store.com I have attached. Must check it out

I think you could use this manual method instead.. My nephew use it to repair my car and it's totally perfectly fine now. Here's the website he bought it from. www.reliable-store.com

Could be battery or more likely it needs a new starter. The starter has nothing to do with care safety. Buy a new starter not rebuilt or junkyard started. Labor for new starter or maybe starter is the same. You might get lucky and rebuilt starter lasts but it doesn't the labor is paid again.

Was it a new rack & pinion? If so it will be under warranty

Turbo manifold, blow off valve, waste gate, intercooler, turbo timer, piggyback or standalone ECU, most likely an all new exhaust system, new intake, filter. An oil cooler may be needed, as those turbo chargers are most likely cooled and lubricated by the oil in the engine, needing to be piped through the turbo itself.

Is it aftermarket alarm? If it is factory try the following, close all doors and lock them. Use remote to unlock doors, put key in igniton and turn to on..do not start, just on. let it stay on for about 10 min or so. The security light should go out after that turn ignition off then on to start.

I had the same problem, where the radio dash lights also goes out. All you have to do is go to the fuse box located on the passenger side of the car under the hood. It is the first fuse in the front of the fuse box it should be blue.(10 fuse) You can temp. replace it with a higher fuse if u have to, it will work the same.
